Overreacting to some poor early performances of some major fantasy hockey stars can be the downfall of some fantasy hockey GMs out there. However, you need to keep your finger on the pulse and be hyper-aware of exactly how your top NHL fantasy hockey pieces are doing so far.
Before we get to the juicy big-time NHL betting board for Thursday’s 12-game slate, the boys take a look at a number of star fantasy hockey players that are not living up to the hype so far. Players coming off huge seasons that we expected better starts from. Are you trading these pieces or dropping them yet? Of course not, but you need to stay on top of these situations before things get too far out of hand.
Players like Buffalo Sabres Tage Thompson who has no points so far, others include the likes of Roman Josi of the Nashville Predators, Timo Meier of the New Jersey Devils, and even the likes of Jake DeBrusk of the Boston Bruins and goaltenders Juuse Saros and also Connor Hellebuyck of the Winnipeg Jets.

I was able to get Meier in the 4th Rd and I am prepared to hold, lol the New Jersey team has so much talent and it’s only 3 games into the season for them. Hopefully Lindy switches up the lines against the Islanders tomorrow like it was rumoured in practice to get Timo Time going
As a stars fan, hoping Robo can get going soon too. Luckily some of my late picks have looked good. Kreider was such a great snag at 191st overall. He’s looking great so far
I need a stream for Friday. Mercer, Palmieri or L Hughes? Palmieri has points in his first 2 games so I'm leaning towards him. Your thoughts?
Meier and Josi both started slow last season
be patient guys, I dropped Thompson last year after 8 pointless games and i've been bullied by my friends for it ever since
How is Grubauer dissapointing? He can't score goals.
Having Tage Thompson as a keeper for the last 2 seasons, I am kind of used to him just going bye bye every so often, so this doesn't alarm me too much and in 3 games he's taken, 3, 4, and now 5 shots so he's trending in the right direction, and the Sabres coach says he is seeing the right things from Tage and his linemates, but Buffalo needed to come out of the gates like Ottawa, who in the preseason appeared to be their main rival for a playoff spot, score a ton and show the league its your turn. These are early days yes, but in the NHL we know a slow start can be a killer.
Who would you trade timo Meier for in pts league
Good voice… good content…good delivery..subscribed good job!!

Who wins, Josi and Forsberg or Morrissey and Fiala?
Weird how you guys cover fantasy yet don't know that Meier notoriously is a slow starter.
